The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1366 - The 'Experts' Push Bird Flu As The Next Pandemic — Just In Time For The Election

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matwell Show, our disgraced public health authorities are gearing up for the next

00:00:03.620 big pandemic right in time for the presidential election. This time, the media warns that the

00:00:07.580 coming plague could be 100 times worse than COVID. Yeah, right. Also, migrants in Denver 1.00

00:00:12.820 have issued a list of demands, which include fresh, culturally appropriate food ingredients

00:00:16.860 provided by the taxpayers, of course. Apple has to apologize for an iPad ad that was accidentally

00:00:22.060 way too honest. And in our daily cancellation, a man claims that he was accosted with a racial

00:00:26.340 slur by a Pizza Hut delivery guy. The whole incident was caught on camera. Is it all another

00:00:30.740 hoax? Stay tuned and find out. I mean, yes, it is. All of that and more today on the Matwell Show.

00:00:56.340 There are a few things I love in life, and fishing is pretty close to the top. There's nothing worse

00:01:06.080 than being on a fishing boat where someone is sick and throwing up. It's disgusting. Nobody wants to

00:01:10.760 see that, especially when you could have just been prepared with my friends at ReliefBand. ReliefBand

00:01:56.160 From the perspective of the people running the government and the various public health

00:01:59.860 authorities, one of the absolute worst things you can possibly do is remember what they told you

00:02:05.100 five minutes ago. Especially if you keep track of the most alarming things they say, then it's

00:02:09.580 very easy to realize that pretty much none of it is true and you can't take any of it seriously.

00:02:14.920 Just four years ago, for instance, as you probably recall, we were told repeatedly

00:02:18.360 that COVID-19 was a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic. The United Nations still has an article on its

00:02:23.920 website right now that makes that exact declaration. It's called All Hands on Deck to Fight a Once-in-a-Lifetime

00:02:29.140 Pandemic. And it wasn't written by some intern or whatever. The author was the UN Secretary General

00:02:34.360 and he wasn't the only one saying that. Various peer-reviewed papers promoted by the NIH made

00:02:39.460 the same claim. So did the White House where Jen Psaki insisted during a press briefing that COVID was a

00:02:44.020 quote, once-in-a-century pandemic? Now, all those pronouncements didn't last long. We're now less

00:02:49.920 than six months away from another presidential election. And just in time, what do you know,

00:02:53.880 there is a new once-in-a-lifetime pandemic on the horizon. Along with nationwide civil disorder,

00:03:00.380 we're getting another pathogen. And in fact, we're told that this pandemic is going to be potentially

00:03:05.700 much deadlier than the last one. So all the old predictions were way off. It turns out COVID was a

00:03:11.580 twice-in-a-lifetime pandemic, I guess, or maybe eventually a three-times-in-a-lifetime,

00:03:16.340 five-times-in-a-lifetime. Here's the New York Post to explain.

00:03:20.480 Flu pandemic with the potential to be a hundred times worse than COVID may be on the horizon

00:03:25.040 after a rare human case was discovered in Texas. The H5N1 avian flu has spread rapidly since a

00:03:31.360 new strain was detected in 2020, affecting wild birds in every state, as well as commercial poultry

00:03:36.620 and backyard flocks. It has now also been detected in mammals, with cattle herds across four states

00:03:42.260 becoming infected in recent weeks. And on Monday, federal health officials announced that a dairy

00:03:46.980 worker in Texas caught the virus. Dr. Suresh Kuchapudi, a bird flu researcher in Pittsburgh,

00:03:52.940 said we are now, quote, getting dangerously close to this virus potentially causing a pandemic.

00:03:57.960 He noted that H5N1 has already been detected in species across the world and said, quote,

00:04:03.080 I think this is a virus that has the greatest pandemic threat that is playing out in plain

00:04:07.500 sight and globally present. The World Health Organization estimates that about 52% of humans

00:04:12.420 who have contacted the H5N1 since 2003 have died. For comparison, COVID currently kills only about 0.1%

00:04:20.660 of those it infects. Okay, so the bird flu, and there's been many, many headlines about the bird flu

00:04:26.300 as we gear up for the election. We knew it would be something, and so bird flu is what they're

00:04:31.040 going with. The reporter from the New York Post, as you just heard, opens her report by saying that

00:04:36.560 the bird flu could be 100 times worse than COVID. But she doesn't explain how she's coming up with

00:04:41.980 that number exactly. Later on in the video, she says that 52% of humans who have contracted bird

00:04:47.120 flu since 2003 have died, while COVID only kills 0.1% of people that it infects. And that makes the

00:04:54.520 bird flu sound, in fact, even more serious than 100 times more dangerous. But it's also using very

00:05:00.880 old data. So the question remains, where exactly is the idea that bird flu could be 100 times worse

00:05:06.900 than COVID coming from? Now, if you dig around that New York Post article, you'll find this

00:05:11.480 explanation, quote, John Fulton, a pharmaceutical industry consultant for vaccines and the founder of

00:05:16.180 Canada-based BioNiagara, also expressed his concerns. This appears to be 100 times worse than COVID,

00:05:22.180 or it could be if it mutates and maintains its high case fatality rate, he said. Once it's

00:05:27.320 mutated to infect humans, we can only hope that the fatality rate drops. This is worse, or it could

00:05:34.220 be. This is something, well, actually, it's not that thing, but it could be. Now, the Post is quoting

00:05:41.260 from a Daily Mail interview in which Fulton also says, quote, this discovery is very concerning and

00:05:46.320 government should take immediate action by seeking out and mobilizing all high potential production

00:05:50.140 capacity for vaccines and therapeutics for the prevention and treatment of avian influenza

00:05:54.580 H5N1. We need to sound the bells to wake up our government to the fact that there is a virus that

00:05:59.980 is undergoing mutations that would slash could eventually allow it to become highly transmissible

00:06:05.300 in human mammals. Would slash could. Okay, so a guy named John Fulton says that if the bird flu

00:06:14.200 mutates to spread easily among humans, and if it maintains a high fatality rate, then it could be

00:06:21.140 100 times worse than COVID. And he says this all, you know, this is all very disturbing, and we need

00:06:26.860 the government to help create and presumably fund more, quote, vaccines and therapeutics. So the next

00:06:32.760 time you get your COVID booster, if you're one of the four people still doing that, you should maybe

00:06:37.220 make room on your arm for the bird flu vax when that is ready to go. That's the idea. And because of

00:06:42.600 this quote, various news outlets, including the Post, have said that experts are warning about the

00:06:47.560 existential threat posed by bird flu. And this guy, as far as I could tell, seems to be the primary

00:06:53.500 source of that claim. But John Fulton is not an expert in anything. According to his LinkedIn, he's

00:06:59.320 got a degree in corporate communications from something called Brock University in Canada. And he

00:07:05.460 lists, I'm not making this up, social media as one of his professional skills. So his qualifications

00:07:12.200 are that he can use Instagram and Facebook. Essentially, he's a salesman, a marketer.

00:07:17.680 And he currently consults on the side for something called Pop Biotechnologies, which says on his

00:07:22.320 website that it, quote, develops revolutionary therapies that expand treatment possibilities

00:07:26.500 in cancer care and infectious disease prevention. Where have we seen this before? When have we seen

00:07:32.640 fake experts pretending to know what they're talking about as they raise the alarm about some

00:07:37.280 catastrophic public health emergency without disclosing their obvious conflicts of interest?

00:07:43.260 Now, it's actually hard to believe that the media is being this flagrant about the narrative

00:07:47.220 this time around. They're not even getting a scientist to scare everyone. You know, if you

00:07:53.280 wanted to deliberately undermine people's trust in public health, like to whatever extent any trust

00:07:59.260 still exists, then it's hard to think of what you do differently exactly. You do exactly what the

00:08:05.380 media is doing now. You'd find some social media expert and get him to say something outrageous

00:08:09.940 and supposedly terrifying. And then you'd pretend that he knows what he's talking about.

00:08:14.980 Now, to be clear, I'm not saying that bird flu or H5N1 definitely isn't or couldn't be potentially in

00:08:21.500 the future a threat. I'm not an expert on the topic any more than John Fulton is. We're both guys

00:08:26.840 giving our opinion. Unlike John Fulton, I'm happy to admit that. What I am saying is that right now,

00:08:32.280 according to all of the available evidence we have, there's no sign that the bird flu is any

00:08:37.920 kind of significant threat to the public or worthy of any real concern or any of the blaring headlines

00:08:43.880 that it's getting. There's no evidence that it's spreading between humans. There's one farm worker

00:08:49.160 somewhere who's supposedly currently infected, and that's it right now. The commercial milk and dairy

00:08:55.700 supply is safe, according to a recent analysis of hundreds of random samples. And this tracks with

00:09:00.340 how the bird flu has behaved for decades. It typically doesn't infect people at all. So

00:09:04.180 there are no real signs that that's changing. So nothing really to worry about. Of course,

00:09:10.480 like anything could happen in the future. There's an infinite number of possible terrible things that

00:09:17.820 could happen at any time. Do you sit around worrying about those things? Well, you shouldn't.

00:09:22.280 But here's the key point. If that does change, let's just say, hypothetically, if bird flu suddenly

00:09:30.000 becomes infectious and starts killing humans, which could theoretically happen, just like anything

00:09:34.760 could theoretically happen, then there is no doubt about one thing. But in that hypothetical universe,

00:09:42.340 the bird flu will be far deadlier than it would have been if the public health establishment hadn't

00:09:48.440 lied to us for years about COVID. Public health authorities proved with COVID that we can't trust

00:09:54.020 anything they say. So if there is a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic, an actual real one this time,

00:09:59.960 we'll have no choice but to ignore them or at best take them with a massive grain of salt.

00:10:06.060 And of course, in turn, that will provide them with the pretense to use even more force than last

00:10:11.780 time. So in a way, their own flagrant untrustworthiness becomes a benefit to them. It guarantees

00:10:18.860 that we will defy them because what other choice do we have, which gives them the excuse to be

00:10:23.600 authoritarians. A year ago, the head of the World Health Organization delivered a speech about the

00:10:28.380 next pandemic, which he said was inevitable. And he made it clear that he understands very well that

00:10:33.140 people will be hesitant to ever obey public health officials again. So to counteract that hesitancy

00:10:38.400 and to ensure equity, he says, the head of the WHO insisted on changes that, quote, must be made.

00:10:45.540 Watch. We cannot kick this can down the road. If we do not make the changes that must be made,

00:10:57.220 then who will? And if we do not make them now, and when? When the next pandemic comes knocking,

00:11:08.400 and it will, we must be ready to answer decisively, collectively, and equitably.

00:11:16.540 And for enhanced international cooperation, the pandemic accord, a generational commitment that we

00:11:24.680 will not go back to the old cycle of panic and neglect that left our world vulnerable, but move

00:11:32.280 forward with a shared commitment to meet shared threats with a shared response. That's why we say

00:11:39.140 the pandemic accord is a generational agreement. A commitment from this generation is important

00:11:46.040 because it's this generation that experiences how awful a small virus could be.

00:11:52.180 So he says, quote, when the next pandemic comes knocking, and it will, we must be ready to answer

00:11:57.780 decisively, collectively, and equitably. And for enhanced international cooperation, he says,

00:12:02.020 there needs to be a pandemic accord to ensure that the old cycle of panic and neglect never happens

00:12:08.320 again. The panic that, you know, the so-called public health authorities intentionally stoked,

00:12:13.280 you know, that panic that's like all their fault, must never happen again. And instead,

00:12:17.900 he says, we need a shared response directed, of course, by the WHO. Now, if you go and look up

00:12:23.260 the pandemic accord on the WHO's website, you'll find that it's intended to, quote, support global

00:12:28.100 coordination through a stronger WHO. Additionally, quote, at the heart of the proposed accord is the

00:12:34.320 need to ensure equity in both access to the tools needed to prevent pandemics, including technologies

00:12:38.820 like vaccines, personal protective equipment, information expertise, and access to healthcare for all

00:12:43.620 people. And we know what that means. We know what equity and access, we know what these things

00:12:47.840 mean. It means that if you're a white guy, it's always bad news, especially if the extremely

00:12:52.580 unlikely scenario really does play out where the bird flu somehow mutates and starts infecting

00:12:56.500 people's lungs. And if they ever did then develop any treatment that actually works and won't make

00:13:01.600 you even sicker. So there's a whole bunch of big, big ifs here. But if all that happens, then if

00:13:06.620 you're a white guy, I guess, you know, you're going to be last on the list. Now, in any event,

00:13:11.780 there's no point in fretting about whether there will be another COVID-style pandemic.

00:13:15.160 The World Health Organization is saying there will be. It's inevitable.

00:13:20.580 This is a very far cry from the old lines we heard about how COVID was a once-in-a-century

00:13:25.520 or once-in-a-lifetime pandemic. The moment they realized COVID was over, the public health

00:13:31.000 establishment stopped pretending that it was a rare event. It's not rare anymore. Now it's like

00:13:36.580 it's inevitable. It's going to happen again, anytime. So they immediately got to work on preparing

00:13:43.220 for the next pandemic. And already, with another presidential election rapidly approaching,

00:13:48.460 some of the least impartial and least qualified people in the country desperately want us to

00:13:54.140 believe that it's about to arrive. Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:14:47.940 New York Post reports migrants in Denver on Monday submitted a list of 13 demands that they say the

00:14:54.080 city must meet before they leave their packed encampment and head into shelters. The group refused

00:14:59.660 to budge until their extensive list, which includes access to a free immigration lawyer and fresh cooking

00:15:04.780 ingredients, is met as they battle with the Denver Human Services. The migrants consisted of families

00:15:10.980 living under a bridge and near train tracks, issued their demands after Democratic Mayor Mike Johnson

00:15:15.940 petitioned to have the group removed. The group's top demand was that they cook their own food with

00:15:20.520 fresh, culturally appropriate ingredients provided by the city instead of pre-made meals, rice, chicken,

00:15:27.980 flour, oil, butter, tomatoes, onions, etc. Also, people will not be punished for bringing in and

00:15:33.900 eating outside food. That's just one of the demands. Well, let's just go. So we have the 13 demands that

00:15:39.680 these migrants who've come to our country illegally and do not legally belong here. These are the demands 1.00

00:15:49.400 that they're making. These are demands, by the way, like that all Denver is trying to do is say,

00:15:55.260 well, don't live on the street. We'll provide you with actual physical shelter. So Denver is doing

00:16:01.080 way more than they should be doing, because what they should be doing, or way less, I suppose,

00:16:05.220 is another way of looking at it, depending on how you look at it, because what they should be doing is

00:16:08.360 putting these illegal immigrants on buses and sending them back to their own countries. 1.00

00:16:15.460 Of course, Denver is not doing that. Instead, they're just saying, well, why don't you come inside?

00:16:19.180 It's nice and warm here. And these entitled illegal immigrants are saying, well, no, we will not take 1.00

00:16:29.360 you up on that kindness until you have done all of these other things that we demand. So here are

00:16:36.400 some of the demands. As we just heard, migrants will cook their own food with fresh, culturally

00:16:41.580 appropriate ingredients. That's how you know that these people are starving, right? They're starving

00:16:46.600 and desperate. They're seeking asylum. They're fleeing persecution. That's how you know, because

00:16:55.840 people that are desperate in a position like that, they're always worried about culturally

00:17:00.300 appropriate ingredients. This is what we're supposed to believe, that these are starving people

00:17:07.500 who desperately need our help. And they're being provided food. And they're saying, excuse me,

00:17:14.440 these ingredients aren't culturally appropriate. They're also, they're not fresh enough for my

00:17:18.620 tastes. I can't eat them. It's not fresh. I need fresh. Oh, look at that tomato. That tomato's

00:17:24.920 not fresh. Take it back. Get it away from me. They are demanding to eat better than the average

00:17:33.140 American citizen does. Like the average American citizen does not eat around the clock with fresh

00:17:39.380 ingredients, unfortunately. And these illegal immigrants are saying, I want, no, I don't just 1.00

00:17:45.800 want what everyone else has who's a legal citizen. I want more than they have. I want to live better

00:17:50.940 than they do. And I'm not going to earn it. I'm not going to work for it. I need you to just give it to

00:17:56.460 me. Number two, shower access will be available without time limits and can be accessed whenever.

00:18:06.480 We are not in the military. We're civilians. You're civilians, but you're not citizens, are you?

00:18:13.240 Medical professional visits will happen regularly and referrals, connections for specialty care will

00:18:17.960 be made as needed. All will receive the same housing support that has been offered to others.

00:18:23.460 There needs to be a clear, just process before exiting someone for any reason. All shelters will

00:18:30.100 receive connection to employment support. And then they want lawyers and a bunch of other things too.

00:18:39.140 Okay. These are the demands they're making. Before we talk about this, let's go to a local news

00:18:45.820 report that interviewed someone to explain a little bit more about these immigrant demands. Let's watch.

00:18:54.320 The camp as a collective came up with a list of demands. That came after a petition by city

00:19:01.000 officials for migrants to move from this encampment near train tracks under a bridge to indoor shelters

00:19:07.480 funded by the city. This morning they sent buses to take people over without presenting that document

00:19:13.400 and without having any kind of signature for accountability. That's what migrant advocate V Reeves

00:19:20.440 says the city responded with instead of meeting the migrants' demands. We've been offering time and

00:19:25.680 shelter basically just trying to get families to leave that camp and come inside. John Ewing with

00:19:30.640 Denver Human Services says shelter comes with its perks, namely getting out of these conditions

00:19:35.580 outdoors. It comes with three square meals a day. You can cook your own if you'd like to. That is one of the main

00:19:40.740 demands by these migrants who have had their grievances in the past about the food provided

00:19:45.420 by the city. There have been so many complaints about the food being spoiled or not being enough

00:19:50.020 and malnutrition amongst children. Migrants who do stay in shelters are often put on a path

00:19:54.900 toward a work permit. Reeves says these folks haven't received the same benefits. They're not

00:19:59.740 receiving any kind of official housing or immigration. I can't even listen. It makes me sick.

00:20:07.280 It makes me sick. I can't even laugh about it. It just makes me sick that we're allowing this

00:20:12.040 in our country. You know, on second thought, years ago when Trump made the left so angry by saying that

00:20:19.640 some worrying percentage of illegal immigrants are criminals and drug dealers, rapists, and so on, 1.00

00:20:26.180 as we recall, all the outrage over that statement, he really did make a mistake because, you know, 0.86

00:20:31.480 he should not have said that. I mean, he shouldn't have said just that. He should have also mentioned

00:20:36.680 that a lot of them are whiny little babies, and that is an even more pervasive problem. There appears to

00:20:43.880 be much more of that, as we have discovered. You know, many of, certainly the people that we just saw

00:20:52.220 and that have created these demands, these are self-entitled egomaniacs. I mean, imagine doing this.

00:20:59.860 Imagine doing this. You can't imagine it. If you're a normal, decent person, you cannot imagine this.

00:21:04.820 You cannot imagine going to another country and breaking their law by sneaking in, literally setting

00:21:11.320 up camp inside one of their cities and then angrily denouncing them for not providing you with room

00:21:17.560 service, essentially. You would never do that, right? You would never even think about doing that.

00:21:24.400 You would never show up in someone else's country, in someone else's home and go, listen up, here's what

00:21:30.060 I need from you. I mean, think about doing that in someone's actual house. Think about barging in to

00:21:38.880 someone's actual house and going, okay, here are my ground rules that you need to obey while I'm in

00:21:44.780 your house. If you want me to be in your house, here's what you need to do. Well, I don't want you

00:21:50.120 to be in my house. Well, nevermind. I'm staying. Here's what I need you to do. It's insane. It's insane

00:21:57.300 that we allow this. It's insane that these people are not being rounded up and shipped back to where

00:22:05.080 they came from. And we have invited this kind of attitude. You know what I would love?

00:22:13.020 I would love to see just once, just once, just once. I'd love to see an interview

00:22:18.380 with an illegal immigrant who says, you know, hey man, I'm just really happy to be here. And I love

00:22:29.060 America. I'm grateful to be in this country. I'm grateful to be, I love, I love this country.

00:22:34.120 I've, I have been, I've always admired America even before I lived here. And I'm, I'm so grateful

00:22:40.220 to be here and I'm willing to do whatever is necessary to contribute. And, and I'm sorry,

00:22:45.800 I'm sorry for breaking the law coming here. I am, but I did it for my family and, and you know,

00:22:51.360 my old country is, it's a terrible place and I'm so happy to have been, to be gone from it.

00:22:55.520 And, and I want to be a part of American culture and, and I'm so grateful. And I want to thank

00:23:00.760 America for having me. Like, I would love to hear that. Just what we never do. I mean, we're told,

00:23:07.220 we're always told that, that all of these immigrants who come here are, have that kind of attitude,

00:23:14.940 that go get them attitude. We don't see it. We don't hear it. Where is that interview?

00:23:18.460 Now, granted, even if one of these people did say that, I would still deport them. Like if it were

00:23:29.320 up to me, I would, and my response would be, I appreciate that. I really do. Thank you for

00:23:33.920 that. You got a wonderful attitude. I'll shake your hand. Great attitude, sir. Now leave. So I would

00:23:40.520 still, one way or another, like no hard feelings. We have laws here and they have to be obeyed and

00:23:46.780 you're not exempt from them even with a good attitude. But, um, even so like at a minimum,

00:23:54.500 we should demand that. So my question is all these people who come here making all these demands,

00:24:04.720 uh, are we allowed to expect anything at all in return? Can we, can we, can we say to them

00:24:12.740 like just any, anything at a minimum, could we say, okay, um, you're here, you're here in this

00:24:20.780 country, you broke our laws. Uh, have a good attitude. That's what we will. That's the only

00:24:27.760 thing we want from you. That's it. That's all you have to give us. Now, again, that for me, if I was

00:24:32.560 making the rules and I was in, well, the rules are already made, if I was in charge of enforcing

00:24:35.680 them, you know, good attitude would not be enough. I'd still deport you, but, but can we, can we start

00:24:40.100 there? Like, can we at least that much and say, Hey, have, if you're going to be here, have a good

00:24:44.780 attitude, uh, while, while you're in our home. But I can't, apparently we can't even expect that.

00:24:51.260 And I made this point before, of course, but I really don't, I really don't want to hear anyone

00:24:55.600 ever again, ever draw any comparisons between these modern immigrants and the ones who came 1.00

00:25:03.260 to this country a hundred years ago, uh, or especially settlers who came here 200 years

00:25:08.880 ago or 300 or 400 years ago. Um, we always hear these, these comparisons made. There's just no

00:25:18.220 comparison. I mean, we know for a fact that the immigrants of old and the settlers of old 1.00

00:25:26.300 before them did not have this kind of, they couldn't have had this kind of attitude. They

00:25:31.140 would have died. This country would not exist if it was initially being settled and set up 0.99

00:25:41.580 by people who have this sort of attitude. So we know that they didn't.

00:25:48.220 And that alone is a, is a major difference between them. All right. RFK jr. Was interviewed

00:25:54.300 by Sage Steele on her, I guess her podcast and the topic of abortion came up and I want

00:26:01.080 you to listen to what he said. Here it is.

00:26:04.340 But so to leave, so, so in other words, keeping it as is with Roe versus Wade having been overturned

00:26:09.240 and leaving it up to the States to determine if and when a woman can have an abortion. 1.00

00:26:14.060 No, I wouldn't leave it to the States.

00:26:16.500 Right.

00:26:17.140 I would, I would say completely, it's up to the woman. 1.00

00:26:20.960 I believe we should leave it to the woman. We shouldn't have government involved. 1.00

00:26:25.120 Even if it's full term.

00:26:27.760 Even if it's full term.

00:26:29.980 Okay.

00:26:30.380 Okay. So full term, he says he's in favor of killing full term babies. And just to make 0.99

00:26:36.500 sure that we're clear about what that means exactly, I'm sure you know what it means, but

00:26:40.640 full term baby is a newborn. That's an infant, a child. Um, now I want to be careful here

00:26:50.100 because I don't want to seem to imply that aborting babies who are full term is somehow

00:26:55.100 substantively worse than aborting babies a week earlier or a month earlier or whatever.

00:27:00.440 Um, it's not, you know, a baby is a baby and a person is a person, but the difference with

00:27:07.260 a full term abortion is that there's no hiding from what you're doing. The clump of cells stuff 0.90

00:27:12.920 is just absurd. I mean, even more absurd than usual when you're talking about a full term

00:27:19.500 baby, I think even, even most radical pro abortion people, like they would not be able

00:27:26.300 to look at an infant and say, ah, it's a clump of cells. Um, and also all of the excuses

00:27:34.000 that are normally used for abortion no longer apply when you're talking about a full term

00:27:39.320 baby because a full term baby is quote unquote viable outside the womb as with any late term

00:27:46.620 abortion. And the thing that makes late term abortions so especially horrible, I mean,

00:27:50.480 the main thing that makes a late term abortion sort of different is that the baby has to be

00:27:58.020 delivered either way. Like there's, there's no way of ending a late term pregnancy without

00:28:05.880 a delivery of the baby. You have to deliver the baby. Uh, there's going to be a delivery,

00:28:10.940 but with late term abortion, there is an extra step added where the baby is killed before the 0.99

00:28:17.540 child is delivered. That's, you know, that's, that's the way that it's done, but the delivery

00:28:23.740 was going to happen anyway. So why, why do you need to kill the baby first? Deliver the baby. You 0.95

00:28:30.740 have to anyway. And then if you don't want the child, put the child up for adoption.

00:28:36.380 And guess what? There is a, there is a waiting list. Okay. There's a waiting list. Uh, so long

00:28:46.600 it could stretch to the freaking moon of people who are waiting to adopt infants. I don't hear any of

00:28:52.560 this nonsense of, well, you put the baby in the system, the baby would be the system their whole

00:28:57.340 life. Like, even if that was true, is that so what death is better? Well, that's not your choice to

00:29:02.460 make, first of all, or it shouldn't be, but it's not true. There's just thousands and thousands of

00:29:10.640 people who, who, uh, right now are waiting, who want to adopt a baby. So why would you, it doesn't

00:29:18.640 even, it doesn't, all of the excuses are, they don't, they're non-starters. They don't even come

00:29:23.180 close to getting off the ground. Even the my body, my choice stuff doesn't work. Now, again, it doesn't

00:29:29.940 work for abortion at any stage. It's a bad argument. It's a false narrative fundamentally,

00:29:33.960 but with late-term abortion, it's so obviously ludicrous. There's another body inside your body.

00:29:40.380 That body has to come out of your body one way or another. Why do you have to kill the child first? 0.96

00:29:45.540 Even if I bought the argument that, you know, you have the moral right to end your pregnancy 0.96

00:29:49.360 whenever you want. Well, if we're talking late-term, like, okay, then, then end it.

00:29:54.080 First, deliver the child. Pregnancy's over. Why kill the child? And what is the difference 0.99

00:30:01.700 between killing the child, uh, a second before delivery or during delivery or, or a second

00:30:07.980 after delivery or a day after? I mean, what is the moral difference? There isn't one. What is the,

00:30:12.240 what's the practical physical difference? There isn't one. What's the scientific difference? There

00:30:16.780 isn't one. Yeah. Yeah. This is what RFK Jr. supports. And I don't want to give, you know,

00:30:21.680 don't give me the nonsense. I've already heard the arguments from RFK Jr. fans. Uh, and I'm sure

00:30:26.080 there'll be some in the comments after this episode who say that, well, uh, yeah, no, you're

00:30:31.460 lying. This is not what he said. This, this is a false narrative. He didn't say this. I always love

00:30:35.900 that when, you know, we play a clip of someone saying something and then we get all the comments

00:30:39.460 like he didn't say the thing that we're all listening to him say right now. Um, what, what they'll

00:30:45.900 point out is that right before that clip that we just played, uh, he made it clear that he doesn't

00:30:50.360 personally like the idea of killing babies full term. He doesn't think it's something that any

00:30:54.540 woman would do lightly. And he even, he even said that he thinks there are valid arguments,

00:30:59.060 uh, against abortion at that stage and in favor of protecting quote unquote fetuses

00:31:04.940 at full term. And yet that doesn't matter because he still comes down on the side of killing the

00:31:10.940 babies with his moral reservations. He still says, yes, women should be allowed to kill them. 1.00

00:31:17.740 We should trust the woman. He says over and over again, which doesn't make sense. Like 0.99

00:31:24.140 trust them to do what trust them. How, what do you mean? Trust women, trust women. I mean,

00:31:31.800 first of all, I, I don't trust anyone. Like there's no broad demographic group of people who I just

00:31:39.740 trust that you have to earn my trust. And I'm not going to trust you just because you're a woman. 1.00

00:31:44.920 Why would I? There's no trusting women doesn't make any sense, but it's also got nothing to do 1.00

00:31:51.580 with, with this. So if a baby is being killed by a woman, you're saying, no, no, no, it's okay. 0.94

00:32:01.160 Trust her, trust her, trust her on this one. What do you mean? Trust her. How would our trust in this

00:32:08.880 individual change the moral equation? Either it's wrong to kill babies or it's not wrong. And if it's

00:32:14.880 wrong, then anyone who does it is doing something wrong and trust has nothing, nothing to do with

00:32:19.360 it. You know, it's like if somebody was punching you in the face and you say, Hey, uh, you're punching

00:32:24.620 me in the face. Will you please stop? And they say, don't you trust me? Oh, you're saying you don't

00:32:30.260 trust me anymore. What? What do you mean trust you? I mean, I guess not. You're like, you're

00:32:35.320 actively punching me in the face. I guess I don't trust you. So I don't think trust has anything to

00:32:40.220 do with this one way or another, but as far as trust goes, um, no, I don't trust people who kill

00:32:44.900 babies. That's that is, uh, there, there are many ways to lose my trust personally. And that's like

00:32:51.700 top of the list. I mean, that that's probably number one, kill a baby. And, uh, I don't trust 1.00

00:32:57.060 you anymore. I don't trust baby killers. I don't. So this is a horrifying thing from RFK Jr. Um,

00:33:03.660 it should be the end of his political career, but it won't be. And think about this to return to

00:33:11.420 this point briefly. Christy Noem's political career was destroyed for talking about killing

00:33:18.080 a dog 20 years ago. And yes, she brought that on herself. Uh, you know how I feel about that.

00:33:24.060 She imploded, she self-immolated, but shouldn't the outrage over a politician endorsing the murder

00:33:29.900 of fully developed children be much greater? Shouldn't this be a much greater scandal? Shouldn't

00:33:37.320 RFK Jr.'s name now be indelibly linked with this position? Just like Christy, like for now on,

00:33:43.980 anytime you hear Christy Noem, you're going to think about killing dogs. That's just what she 1.00

00:33:47.200 did to herself. So shouldn't it be the same thing here? Every time you hear RFK Jr. think,

00:33:52.960 oh, that's the guy who thinks it's okay to kill full term babies. And yet, um, and yet that's not 0.85

00:34:02.020 the case because the really sad reality is that for a lot of people in this country,

00:34:07.040 whether they were saying that, well, whether they'll say it out loud or not. And in fact,

00:34:11.980 plenty of them will say it out loud. Uh, they, they really truly are more outraged by the notion

00:34:20.060 of killing a dog than killing a newborn child. And if that's the case, then

00:34:27.400 there's nothing that I can do for you. There's nothing I can say. I can't argue you out of that

00:34:35.020 position. You are broken. You are, and you should know this. Like if you're listening to me right now

00:34:41.120 and I, and you're saying to yourself, yeah, that's kind of how I feel. Killing a dog just makes me more

00:34:47.060 angry than killing a baby. Well, then you are a broken person. You are a bad person and a broken 1.00

00:34:51.640 person. Like there's something deeply, deeply wrong with you. And you are just not a good person at 1.00

00:34:57.780 all. I don't care what else you've done in your life. I don't, I don't care. You're right. You are 0.97

00:35:00.980 a bad, broken person. And, um, uh, I'm not going to say you're, you're beyond redemption. Nobody is, 0.99

00:35:08.660 but that's the fact like that it shouldn't take any effort. I mean, this,

00:35:14.100 in order to perceive that the child as having infinite more, infinitely more worth than the

00:35:22.220 dog, that shouldn't take any effort. You shouldn't need to like be presented arguments. It should be

00:35:27.280 automatic. You should automatically recognize that. And if you don't, again, there's,

00:35:33.000 you really are broken. You are a broken person. Um, Apple has gotten a lot of attention 0.94

00:35:40.220 this week for an ad that it put out for the new iPad, uh, bad attention. I should say the wrong

00:35:46.820 kind of attention, which is the only kind of attention that any new Apple product ever gets

00:35:50.140 now. Uh, that's probably because Apple hasn't put out anything new or innovative in like 17 years.

00:35:57.340 I mean, basically since the iPhone was first invented, I mean, there was the iPhone, the iPad,

00:36:01.380 the iPod all within a few years. I don't know what the exact timeframe was. Uh, the iPod went away

00:36:07.620 and got absorbed by the iPhone basically. And then it was the iPhone and the iPad. And that's

00:36:12.440 all they've done. I mean, every new innovation is just another version of those things. And yeah,

00:36:16.120 there's the Apple watch. And, uh, I think they have one of the, the goggle things that you put on,

00:36:21.420 but that's just an iPhone you can wear. So it's, they're all really just version. Like an iPad is

00:36:27.280 a flattened version of an iPhone. So that's all they have is you have the iPhone, you have the

00:36:31.200 flattened iPhone, you have the iPhone taped to your wrist, the iPhone you wear on your eyes. Like

00:36:35.500 it's all it is. It's all the same thing. Um, they aren't innovating anymore. They,

00:36:40.320 they, and they haven't in many years and they aren't even innovative with their marketing.

00:36:44.780 Their marketing can't even successfully make it seem as though the products are new or interesting.

00:36:50.600 Instead, the marketing, at least in this case, uh, of this ad is causing repulsion. Like

00:36:57.000 it's actively repulsing people. Uh, the, the reaction to this ad was quite negative and let's

00:37:03.760 watch it.

00:37:04.600 Sometimes when I'm down and all alone, oh, all I ever need is you.

00:37:24.420 The winners fall as they go.

00:37:33.080 And we watch the mail temp snow.

00:37:38.800 So as summer, fall, or spring, all the things you do, give me a reason to build my world

00:37:48.760 all around you.

00:37:56.420 Come and follow rainbows. I am told.

00:37:59.920 The most powerful iPad ever is also the thinnest.

00:38:02.720 All I ever need is you.

00:38:06.140 All right. So that's the ad. Uh, it's a giant hydraulic press crushing various musical instruments

00:38:12.120 and artwork and sculptures and other things. Uh, destroying. It's destroying. It's, it's an ad

00:38:20.200 showing destruction. And then it reveals the new iPad, which we are proudly told is the thinnest iPad

00:38:25.340 yet. Which first of all, so what? That really, that is your only selling point? The thinnest yet?

00:38:35.060 Why does it need to be so thin? I don't understand. Is it, is it not thin enough already? This is like

00:38:39.780 some weird tech version of bulimia or something. It's like our technology has body dysmorphia

00:38:45.320 obsessively trying to get skinnier and skinnier. Why though? Well, we get fatter and fatter,

00:38:50.960 by the way. So the people are getting fatter and fatter. Uh, the, the technology is getting

00:38:55.140 skin. I'm not the first person to point this out. You know, people get fat, fatter and dumber.

00:38:58.860 Technology gets skinnier and smarter. Uh, not exactly a good, a good trend, but I just, I honestly 0.95

00:39:05.040 don't get it. I don't understand why. Like, does anyone actually want it to be that thin? Is, is,

00:39:12.600 did anyone get the last iPad and think, wow, this thing is, oh man, this thing is too, I could barely

00:39:18.080 lift it. This thing is way too heavy. I, I, this, this is a, no, look how fat it is. Look at this

00:39:23.300 fat iPad, this fat, gross iPad. Did anyone say that with the last iPad? That do you want it to feel 0.94

00:39:30.860 as thin as a piece of paper? Like, I think it's, it's, it, you feel like you're going to break it.

00:39:34.880 I don't want, yeah, I mean, you don't want it to be too bulky, but you don't want it to, you don't

00:39:39.200 want to feel like you're going to break it when you hold it. Right? So I don't, I don't get why that

00:39:43.900 is even, uh, desirable, but more to the point, why are you actually providing a visual of your

00:39:55.460 technology literally crushing human ingenuity and creativity? Why would you do that? Now I know,

00:40:04.420 I know what you're going for. The idea is that all of that stuff is stuffed inside of this little thin

00:40:11.540 box. Um, but even that is depressing, right? And, and, you know, the fact that you stuff it inside

00:40:20.700 there by destroying it, like, why not, why not do the river? Why not have, uh, uh, start the ad?

00:40:29.960 I mean, I'll work, look, pay, pay me $5 million a year. I'll be, I'll do marketing for Apple. I could

00:40:34.880 come up with something better than this. You start the ad with the iPad, this little thin, tiny thing.

00:40:40.220 And then you have someone like opens it, right? Like it's a box. And then out of that little thin

00:40:47.520 box, all of these things spring out the piano and the sculptures and the music and everything

00:40:53.100 comes out. Right? So, so just reverse it. Like rather than us watching you destroy all of these

00:41:00.660 beautiful things, how about it's like a, it's a magical box and all of those things spring out of

00:41:06.340 it. Isn't that a much better visual? Did no one suggest that during the marketing meetings of this

00:41:12.640 thing? Was there no one in the marketing meeting who said, Hey guys, like there's a positive version

00:41:17.620 of this that we could easily do. Why are we doing this? Do we want our product to be visually

00:41:24.680 associated with the destruction of things that people love? Um, so it doesn't make a lot of sense,

00:41:34.500 but, and people didn't react well to it. And that's why Apple has now apologized. According

00:41:39.060 to the verge quote, Apple has apologized after a commercial meant to showcase its brand new iPad

00:41:44.720 pro drew widespread criticism. Let's see someone, a spokesperson, I guess said, uh, creativity is in

00:41:52.440 our DNA at Apple. And it's incredibly important to us to design products that empower creatives all

00:41:58.400 over the world. Our goal is to always celebrate the myriad of ways, uh, the myriad of ways is all

00:42:09.940 you don't need the oven. Uh, the myriad ways users express themselves and bring their ideas to life

00:42:15.160 through iPad. We missed the mark with this video and we're sorry. So they have, uh, apologized for the

00:42:24.460 ad. Um, it, but what are they apologizing for? Like they're actually apologizing for being honest

00:42:30.880 that that's what happened. They all looked at the ad and the reaction and they said, Oh crap. They, 0.98

00:42:35.700 we, we, we were way too, this was way too on the nose. Like we have revealed way too much because

00:42:41.140 in fact, of course, um, this and what makes it such a terrible ad is that it, it highlights not only is

00:42:49.440 the visual very disturbing and like not exactly what you want associated way too dark, right? To

00:42:54.840 be associated with a consumer electronic. But at the same time, it, it, it, it's also kind of true,

00:42:59.640 like metaphorically all of that is happening because of all this technology, right? Fewer people are

00:43:07.200 playing instruments. There's less people playing the piano. Fewer people are reading. Fewer people are

00:43:10.920 doing any of these sorts of things. Um, and all of life and art and experience and creativity and

00:43:18.840 music and everything is now inside these little boxes. Um, and I think people look at an ad like

00:43:27.240 that and it makes them think like, is that, are we actually better for that? Is that better? Is it,

00:43:33.160 is it better to have your piano in the little thin box? What's wrong with actually having a piano?

00:43:37.820 Wouldn't you rather just have a piano, a physical thing that you can see and you can learn how to use?

00:43:45.060 Uh, I think, I think we were better off. I think we were better off before. I think we're better

00:43:48.880 off with having all of those things out in the world rather than in the little box. Um,

00:43:54.880 I'd say that's the conclusion to draw here. Let's get to the daily cancellation.

00:43:58.840 Catch the series premiere of Mr. Burcham this Sunday, nine o'clock, eight central exclusively

00:44:05.140 on daily wire plus episode one is streaming for free. So no excuses people. Mr. Burcham is

00:44:11.620 decades in the making and now it's showtime. Let me be clear. Like me, wood doesn't care about your

00:44:18.760 feelings. If you hurt wood, wood will hurt you back. Wood doesn't discriminate. Wood's only true

00:44:25.120 enemy is the donkey. Bentley. Can I go to the bathroom? Pee before class, donkey. Remember Mr.

00:44:31.400 Burcham's series premiere this Sunday, nine o'clock, eight central, stream it free only on daily wire plus.

00:44:41.620 For our daily cancellation today, we have the shocking story first reported by Action News 5

00:44:49.520 out of Memphis of a Pizza Hut delivery driver who allegedly called a black customer the N-word.

00:44:55.400 Uh, the man whose name is Jamarius Archie, uh, is now suing over the incident, which happened last

00:45:00.740 summer in Oxford, Mississippi. As the story goes, the delivery driver knocked on Archie's door,

00:45:05.240 called him the N-word and handed him a pizza. A press release on the website of Archie's attorney,

00:45:10.620 Carlos Moore, says this. The Carlos Moore Law Group filed a lawsuit against Pizza Hut on behalf of

00:45:15.040 Mr. Jamarius Archie for a disturbing incident of racial discrimination that occurred on June 25th,

00:45:19.920 2023 in Oxford, Mississippi. Mr. Archie, an African-American, was subjected to a racial slur by a

00:45:24.040 Pizza Hut delivery driver captured on the Archie family's ring doorbell camera. This unacceptable

00:45:28.400 behavior has caused Mr. Archie emotional distress and harm. Attorney Carlos Moore stated, quote,

00:45:32.720 the racial discrimination experienced by Mr. Archie is reprehensible. This lawsuit aims to hold Pizza Hut

00:45:36.480 accountable for the actions of their employees and to ensure that racial bias has no place in our

00:45:40.440 society. Cause Moore Law Group is dedicated to seeking justice for Mr. Archie and he demands

00:45:44.940 the Pizza Hut take responsibility and implement changes to prevent future incidents. Now, I don't

00:45:51.080 want to spoil the twist ending here and ruin all the fun, but if you're already assuming out of the gate

00:45:55.780 that this must be a hoax, if you've already dismissed this claim out of hand without any further

00:46:01.140 investigation whatsoever, well, you're right, of course. Obviously, obviously, a Pizza Hut delivery

00:46:08.020 guy didn't randomly drop the N-word on a black customer while delivering pizzas. Like, pretty much

00:46:15.560 every story of this kind that we have heard over the past 30 years has turned out to be completely made

00:46:19.740 up, and this one is no different. And in fact, this is one of the rare cases where we actually have video

00:46:25.780 of the incident not happening. This is video that the victim, quote unquote, who is now seeking to

00:46:32.140 profit off of this non-event has eagerly provided. So there is ring camera footage, as mentioned,

00:46:37.960 of the interaction between Jamarius Archie and the driver. And a few days ago, Archie's attorney,

00:46:42.940 Carlos Moore, appeared on Roland Martin's YouTube channel and brought the footage along with him.

00:46:49.000 Let's watch.

00:46:50.660 A Mississippi man says he got more than a pizza from his Oxford Pizza Hut delivery driver,

00:46:55.780 on June 25th, 2023. Jamarius Archie opened his door to receive his order when the white driver

00:47:03.440 called him a racial slur. Take a listen.

00:47:16.860 Pizza Hut, how you doing?

00:47:18.320 Good, man.

00:47:21.140 Here we go, appreciate you. And let me just grab a signature, if you don't mind, I'll pay.

00:47:25.780 I'll pay you up.

00:47:30.120 In case, in case you missed it, we will play it again.

00:47:44.620 Pizza Hut, how you doing?

00:47:46.020 Good, man.

00:47:48.920 Here we go, appreciate you. And let me just grab a signature, if you don't mind.

00:47:52.280 I'll pay you up.

00:47:56.060 In case we missed it, he played it again. And we did miss it. We all missed it, because the

00:47:59.660 it, in this case, didn't happen. It's totally imaginary. The ring camera audio isn't the best

00:48:05.100 audio, obviously, so the delivery guy's words at the end of that clip are garbled. But it's very

00:48:10.640 clear, simply from the tone of the interaction, that he didn't say the N-word. Like, if you were

00:48:16.060 tempted to believe that maybe it happened before listening to it, you would assume that, okay, well,

00:48:22.440 maybe something like that could have happened if there was some sort of argument. If he was angry,

00:48:32.080 if they were yelling at each other, the pizza was late, and the guy yells at him, and he cusses him

00:48:35.440 out, and they cussed, and then he dropped, like, did it. But no, that's not what happened. It's

00:48:38.560 just totally normal and friendly interaction. In fact, he was far friendlier than the average

00:48:44.520 customer service worker is these days. Just simply by offering a greeting and not being outwardly

00:48:49.860 hostile and surly to the paying customer, he has already set himself apart from the baseline

00:48:54.920 customer service standard. If I ran the Pizza Hut in Oxford, Mississippi, I would give that guy,

00:48:59.720 I'd make him employee of the month, just based on that interaction, because it's like, well,

00:49:04.140 that's, it's, I mean, look, it's, the standards are as low as they can get. I mean, the bar is pretty

00:49:10.820 low, but at least he's being friendly. And we're supposed to believe that somehow the N-word was

00:49:17.800 dropped at the very end of that clip, which would mean that the delivery driver said, this is what he

00:49:23.640 would have said as he was handing over the pizza. Here we go, appreciate you. Let me just grab a

00:49:28.400 signature, if you don't mind, N-word. The claim, I guess, is that this Pizza Hut delivery guy,

00:49:34.140 just casually uses the N-word with customers as a greeting. Because that's, that's what it would 0.99

00:49:40.000 be, like, if he actually said it there, then that's how, he didn't even mean it as an insult.

00:49:43.160 He just, this is apparently just what he, this is his way of saying hello. And if that was true,

00:49:48.860 it would mean that at worst, he's guilty of using the N-word the same way that many black people use 0.50

00:49:54.660 it. And this is why we have to be careful here. It's important to point out that the claim is a lie.

00:50:00.260 Now, even if it's difficult to hear precisely what word or phrase he uses at the end of the clip,

00:50:04.200 he obviously didn't say the N-word. But even as we call out this hoax for what it is, we should

00:50:09.220 make sure that we aren't tacitly supporting the premise that if the delivery driver had said that

00:50:14.680 word in that context, he would be guilty of some great moral crime. Now, to say that word would be

00:50:21.080 professionally and perhaps even literally suicidal, would be a self-destructive, extremely ill-advised

00:50:26.100 thing to do. He would be guilty of creating huge problems for himself and getting himself fired.

00:50:30.300 But, you know, no white person actually has any moral obligation to observe the insane, 0.89

00:50:35.180 totally indefensible, ridiculous rule that decrees that this word is acceptable to be used 0.87

00:50:41.040 in any and every context by one race, but in no context at all by another race. I mean, 0.95

00:50:47.340 the idea that the pigmentation of your skin should determine whether you're allowed to utter

00:50:51.820 certain syllables in a particular combination is totally absurd. And as far as I know,

00:50:57.780 without precedent in the history of the world, I can't think of any other example ever, anywhere

00:51:02.120 in the world where one single word has been imbued with this kind of mystical power.

00:51:08.200 So if he did say it in a friendly way, he would only be doing what millions of people in this country

00:51:11.520 do every day, and it's never considered a problem. But obviously, obviously, he didn't say it.

00:51:16.920 A white delivery driver who is in the habit of saying the N-word, you know, casually would not

00:51:24.640 be employed for very long. Like, this would not be the first time we were hearing about this.

00:51:29.180 And he probably wouldn't be alive for very long. And that's why a much more sensible translation of

00:51:33.620 that clip is this. Here we go. Appreciate you. Let me just grab a signature, if you don't mind,

00:51:38.740 will you? You know, it also is possible that he said there at the end. So let me grab a signature,

00:51:43.780 if you don't mind, there. Whatever he said, there are several possible translations that are far

00:51:49.860 more sensible and far more likely than the N-word. And of course, one way to clear this up would have

00:51:57.020 been for the customer to ask him in the moment, like if he actually, if he really thought that the

00:52:03.080 guy said that word to him, why would he say, I'm sorry, what did you say? And if he did say the N-word

00:52:09.520 that openly and casually, then he would have no problem repeating it. He would probably,

00:52:13.480 like apparently, if he said it in that context, it means he thinks that there's no issue. He

00:52:17.880 somehow is living in the year 2024 and thinks that it's never, no one's ever told him that there's a

00:52:24.500 problem with saying the word. So he would just repeat it. But the customer didn't handle it that

00:52:30.780 way. Instead, he said nothing in the moment. And he pulled the ring camera footage later that day,

00:52:35.400 sent it to a lawyer, and filed a lawsuit. And speaking of the lawyer, he appeared on this

00:52:40.580 YouTube show to talk about the severe emotional and psychological damage that his client has

00:52:45.500 endured due to this friendly five-second exchange with a pizza delivery guy. Watch.

00:52:51.840 Let's start with, what in the world? I almost wanted to play it a third time. Can you please tell us

00:52:58.240 and help us process what we just saw? Was that real?

00:53:01.060 It was real. And like you, I could not believe my ears. I mean, this happened in 2023 in Oxford,

00:53:07.460 Mississippi. This young African-American man ordered a pizza in a nice neighborhood,

00:53:11.880 and it was just a normal day. And he never could have expected to be called the N-word just for

00:53:17.280 ordering a pizza.

00:53:19.060 And what was, you know, we read the statement that you posted, but, you know, knowing your client,

00:53:26.300 what was his reaction after the fact? Because it seems like such a natural transaction,

00:53:31.680 but it just seems like kind of after the fact, it seems like, whoa, wait a minute. What just

00:53:35.240 happened? Like, how did he process what he experienced?

00:53:38.820 Yes, it was very difficult to process. He's undergoing counseling now for what he endured,

00:53:43.240 but it caught him off guard. I mean, most people, had they had any kind of forewarning,

00:53:49.280 knew exactly what he said when he said it and processed it immediately, they probably would have

00:53:53.440 stolen a pizza driver. But I mean, he was so shocked. He ran to his video surveillance to

00:53:58.560 run it back. He had to run it back again to make sure he had heard what he heard. He

00:54:02.260 showed it to his wife and they agreed. There was nothing wrong with his ears. He had been called

00:54:06.540 the N-word.

00:54:07.840 Yeah, I had to double check my ears a couple of times as well.

00:54:11.700 Well, maybe you should check them a third time then. There's one clip that, one of the clips I

00:54:16.640 wanted to play for you. And this is, you know, we've already heard that he's in counseling and all that,

00:54:21.100 but this, this is, this is the best part. Listen.

00:54:24.840 And a response for, I want to bring my panel in shortly, but has there been a response from

00:54:28.660 Pizza Hut about how they're looking at handling the situation to date since this happened last

00:54:33.700 summer?

00:54:35.380 Evidently, Pizza Hut has ratified this comment. The man is still a delivery driver in Oxford,

00:54:40.120 Mississippi, and he is still free to roam the streets and deliver pizzas and call people the N-word

00:54:45.360 at will. And so this is very disappointing.

00:54:47.860 Wow. That was not something I was expecting to hear.

00:54:53.040 Did he, did he say, I'm actually having more trouble understanding what the lawyer is saying

00:54:56.620 than the delivery guy. Uh, did he say that Pizza Hut ratified the comment? Did I hear that

00:55:02.020 correctly? Pizza Hut ratified, Pizza Hut ratified the N-word? What does that, what does that mean?

00:55:08.960 Uh, they, I, I don't know. I'm not sure. I don't, I don't think that Pizza Hut has the authority to

00:55:15.060 ratify anything. Um, but especially not the N-word, whatever that would mean. Anyway,

00:55:19.960 the delivery driver is still out there. Uh, he's, he's wandering the streets,

00:55:23.520 giving out pizzas and calling people the N-word, um, which I guess is better than just calling them 1.00

00:55:30.020 the N-word. Like at least there's a pizza in the deal. I mean, I don't, I don't know. I wouldn't,

00:55:34.020 if I, if, if there was someone wandering around giving out pizzas and, and, and, you know,

00:55:38.840 insulting you, like I'll, I'll take the insult along with the pizza. Uh, but that's just me.

00:55:43.140 I, the, the community, uh, in Oxford, Mississippi doesn't feel that way. The community is not safe.

00:55:47.180 They're all locked in their homes, huddled together, trembling and afraid. Every time there's a knock

00:55:52.740 at the door, they scream out in fear. It's him again. He's back with more pizzas and more racial slurs.

00:55:58.220 It's like the lamest horror movie of all time. Now we don't need to, you know, continue analyzing

00:56:04.520 this breaking news story. The guy didn't say the N-word. Uh, no honest person could interpret

00:56:09.120 the exchange that way. This customer and his lawyer are grifters, hoping that Pizza Hut just

00:56:13.660 throws some money at them. So they go away. That's all that's happening here clearly. But

00:56:17.780 I do want you to notice just how perfunctory and unconvincing this whole performance is.

00:56:24.200 The lawyer claims that the customer is in counseling over this interaction with a

00:56:28.000 pizza delivery guy, but he can barely take himself seriously as he says it. In fact,

00:56:33.160 the host is practically laughing through the whole thing. And he, he, he stopped smiling

00:56:39.040 for one moment when the, when the lawyer mentions the guys in counseling and the host, that's

00:56:43.960 the only time he stops grinning because he knows he has to like pretend like, oh, in counseling.

00:56:47.620 Sure. That's well, of course, of course he's in counseling. Who wouldn't be? Sure. He has PTSD

00:56:53.720 over this. And then later on, they bring in some distinguished panelists to join in the

00:56:58.600 conversation. They also have barely disguised smirks on their faces the whole time. The racial 0.93

00:57:04.760 grievance shtick has become boring and stale, even for the people who engage in it. So boring and

00:57:11.380 stale that Pizza Hut, which knows something about boring and stale things, as far as I can, can tell,

00:57:17.300 has completely ignored this so far. They have not even responded. And, um, I think that will be a sign

00:57:24.800 that the race hustle is really over. If you can't even extort a few hundred thousand bucks out of 0.58

00:57:30.580 Pizza Hut by falsely accusing an employee of saying a racial slur, that's a, that's a very bad sign for

00:57:36.300 the grifters. It will mean that the world is finally taking their BS as seriously as they take it,

00:57:43.080 which is not at all. And that is why they are today canceled. That'll do it for the show today

00:57:49.240 and this week. Talk to you on Monday. Have a great weekend. Godspeed.
